What Would a Canes Trade for Connor McDavid Look Like?

There’s a better chance I make the roster than this happening
Probably Aho or Svech, Pesce or Skjei, Pono or Suzuki, and at least one 1st round pick. You don’t get the best player in the league for some picks, a prospect, and maybe a roster player who needs a change of scenery. We’d get back some other minor pieces back, too, just to make the numbers work, but I can’t check all that right now.
Nonexistent
People laughing this off but, our owner and GM would be on the phone lines day and night for him if he becomes available.
It really depends on what the oilers are looking for. If they move him it’s nuclear, not some win now move, it’s tear it all down to the ground.
With that being said, it would cost every young star we have and then probably our farm.
Probably Jarvis, Necas, Morrow, Nikishin, gets the convo started. Then they probably ask for Nadeau, a few firsts as well.
It’s a lot but if you can keep Aho and Svech around him with even some semblance of a D core it’s a better situation than McDavid did have and we still compete.
Canes receive Conner McDavid(80% retention)
Oilers receive 2025 3rd round and Future Considerations
Lol..not gonna happen. I’ll eat my jersey if we get him
And the convo would very likely include Slavin which would kill my soul
The sun would explode first before Edmonton trades McDavid
Honestly your guess is as good as mine at the value of a McDavid trade. Trades like that just simply never happen in the NHL. I will say if it happened the canes are like the perfect trade partner for it. Other conference, in win now mode, has a good amount of prospects and most all future picks..
I think it starts with 3 or 4 first rounders. Every young player we have. Then most every a, b, and c tier prospect we have. Nikishin, Nadeau, Jarvis, Necas. I’m not super familiar with our prospect pool tbh. Probably svech would have to be included as the centerpiece of the deal. Probably throw in some 2nds as well.
Aho is too old for them to want in this kind of trade. Doubt we’d move slavin in a trade like this, he’s also already in his prime, plus if you make this kind of trade you’re going for it completely.
I want my click back.
I’m not willing to make the necessary sacrifices to acquire him. If he goes on the market, we should have discussions with Edmonton, but I don’t think we should actively pursue him unless the deal is too good to pass up.

Picked the wrong Oiler
Leon would be incredible with Svech
